There are new photographs of Kate Moss circulating “on the google” as George W would say, as Moss arrived at London’s Heathrow airport on Friday. The new nose of Moss has sparked fears alleged drug abuse is taking a toll on her looks.
Photos showing blotchy skin while her nose appears slimmer than normal has sparked a wildfire of speculation in the press she is either suffering from cocaine abuse or has undergone plastic surgery.
Media reports that plastic surgeon Alexis Karidis, who works at the St John and St Elizabeth Hospital in north London, says, “The nose certainly seems to be retracted. Past drug abuse is certainly a possibility – but then so is surgery in the form of a tweak or adjustment.
“Cocaine does not always cause distortion of the nose. She could argue, ‘Yes, my nose is a little different, but I had a little adjustment made to it,’ which would be feasible.”
“I would expect every model to have had some kind of tweak or adjustment to their nose. They do it at various stages of their career sometimes.”
But Karidis doesn’t rule out the possibility that Moss’ nose has been ravaged by cocaine, saying, “The nostrils do look retracted and that may be due to some distortion of the anatomy due to previous cocaine use.
“It is of course possible. Going back to the beginning of her career, she had a much flatter, wider nose.”
Moss was outed in the press last year when pictures of her snorting a powdery substance in a recording studio were published.
